Folklore visit from Denmark

Folklore visit from Denmark

Goddag, welcome! Yesterday we were enriched by a folklore visit from Denmark. We gave an insight into our weekly training in the Alte Mensa, explained elements of the versatile German folklore and showed examples from our current stage program. We were then able to admire Danish dances and finally learned from each other by dancing together – and we realized that our cultural origins are not so different … Hjertelig tak!
